New Guy here, from Macon, GA and nervous as a cat in a room full of rockers

Sorry. Meg, just seeing this.

At this point I am down almost 60 lbs. my energy level is fine. I can pretty much eat anything I want. Have to be careful with what I eat. The Portion Control is still there. Feel full pretty quick. Have to be wary of slider foods (carbs.)

The holidays have been fine thus far. I’m cooking gumbo for about 25 people this week and it sort of pains me to think of the work that goes into it to only be able to eat probably 3/4 of a cup

Normal holiday foods will be enjoyed just now it will be prioritized. Protein, veggies and then carbs.

since I am on and off here periodically, I would be happy to give you my cell number since you are local and feel free to call/text with questions’thoughts. Just lemme know.

Appreciate it, Frustr8 Just been super busy with work and holiday shopping. This site and those within it were a Godsend pre-op and the first couple months post op!!! Just not much of a message board person unless I consciously think about it
